Re: New Radiator
Wonder if the trapped air is causing excessive expansion on that side? Maybe leaving it open to the air will reduce the warpage. The other radical thought (which would void the warranty) would be to take a drill and drill two holes through the inside tubing so that the oil reservoir can be filled with coolant then cap the inlet/outlets. Or you can go online and buy one specifically w/o a oil cooler (eBay)...or you can go all aluminum and get rid of that seal altogether. Using stop-leak in a new rad is just a dumb idea from the parts guy.
